We recently visited a Greek restaurant when we were in Chapel Hill, NC. I automatically thought of the Greek olive oil I purchased from Spartan Oil a few weeks ago. I decided to create a tart that highlighted the oil with kalamata olives, feta cheese, caramelized onions and pine nuts. The results were wonderful; the bold flavor of the oil both in the crust and in the topping certainly made me feel I was back in that Greek restaurant.
